True Leaders Training Series: Advancing Sustainability and Circular Economy in Facility Management

The True Leaders Training Series is an initiative of the Circular Business Platform supported by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency and implemented by the Circular Economy Innovation Partnership (CEIP). The programme was designed and delivered by the Lagos Business School Sustainability Centre (LBSSC) and included a web forum, an executive workshop, and a business mixer event. The programme is geared towards supporting the transition of the Hospitality Establishments, Commercial and Residential Facilities management to move from a linear model of operation to a circular economy focusing on reducing, reusing, and recycling of resources.
The web forum, titled 'Leading Change & Sustainability for Facility Managers', provided an overview of sustainability and circular economy concepts. The executive workshop, 'Leading Impact through the Circular Economy', offered tailored learning sessions, and an in-person business mixer forum themed 'Collaborating for Impact in the Circular Economy', purposed to enable facility managers to connect and establish partnerships with recycling firms, practitioners and value chain players, enabling them to apply the knowledge and skills gained from the programme in their facilities and organisations.
